But to that, its no surprise they did react to that. The last thing any Bethesda RPG game needs is to shoot itself in the foot when it comes to modder's. Mod's keep Bethesda's games alive well after launch so not making the Modding scene toxic is the only alternative.

Chip&Pin threw me off a bit when I first had to do it. But I got used to it pretty quick. Just remember chip side first, name side down, and then enter the Pin code. Honestly its not hard, but they do under stand American's are generally stuck in there ways and anything that changes it is evil and needs to be stopped.

Tech-back doors and warrentless spying, Stay Classy US. I like the photo they use too. Above the back it says "In God We Trust" I'm starting to realize what that means in US terms. You need to trust God, because the politics are nothing but failing the people.

“I look at Steam today, it’s on an incredible growth trajectory,” Xbox boss Phil Spencer said. “It’s a massive force in gaming; a positive force. I think it will be bigger a year from now than it is today. And five years later it will still be bigger again.”

I would say it has growth, looking at my steam stats now at 10million plus active user's atm. They really just do not understand the PC market place at all. I think this whole Xbox closed environment thing they were doing for years still plagues there minds.

I had what turned out to be a legally insufficient copy of my birth certificate. Found out when I applied for my passport. Fortunately, it wasn't too tough to get a legally sufficient one from a state agency in the state of my birth (New York).

For whatever it is worth, I was just curious on your age, I wasn't attempting to be critical in any way. And frankly, I'm more impressed you'd pursue it at 41 than say 19. I hate school. Somehow I managed to finish a two year degree, and have investigated finishing my bachelor's multiple times. But in the end I've always not done anything even though it would have been helpful in potential employment situations. That's how much I hate school...

You probably had the paper they hand to your parents at the hospital. Which is legally useless. I had the same problem myself when I got my passport. And as with you thankfully it was New York, and one thing New York likes is paperwork.

Well I played my fair share, but I've backed away from it for a bit. Until they fix some of my pet peeves with the game over all. I had alot of fun and I will still play it on and off, just not dedicated at all to it.

Ahh NY TWC. I had super luck and had a node just outside of my house I was connected to. Made my speed 1.8 MB/sec downloading and trash uploading still. The connection would always need repair during season changes, because it would gather a ton of steam and rust away the metal cable connections inside the node.

Tech guys would always see my speed being fairly fast compared to others cause of the node. By the time I was leaving the US my connection was shot again and disconnecting and reconnecting itself every hour. Which is honestly normal kinda.

Now I sit on a European Muni-Broadband connection which has once in a blue moon connection problems. I do not miss the hell on earth TWC brought. Tech guys called it fast... what the hell. I miss a couple things from my home, bad internet is not one of them.

The hell? do not apologize for them, this is there game. In a game filled with characters that cheat in there own special way. Getting killed by somebody who's long/mid/short range weapon can change direction mid flight and kill you in one hit, without using a "super" should not be one of them I feel.

What exactly are you talking about? I am not discounting your post at all, I am serious. I haven't heard anymore complaints about hitboxes than usual in Overwatch. That said, I usually play a healer, so I could miss some things there.

Is it rubber banding? Clipping? Generic hit box gripes?

Well Moonspook there has a video about it and I thank him for posting. but There is a bit more detailed and tested video out with way more then hanzo. Easy Overwatch Headshots

Do not get me too wrong I love the game, and will continue to play it. But after seeing the video I will not take getting killed in cheap ways so badly anymore. That game is full of cheap-cheaty things already, but as the video points out some of it is kinda, well, wrong. blizz is wrong.

And nothing about the recent proof about the Hit Box problem. I knew about it in beta but somebody actually put it to the test with video showing just how bad it is. Ether have Blizz come up with some sort of solution, or at least try to explain it away.

well my experience with my phone, is that its ether a look at my phone or stare off into space. Specifically when I'm traveling or waiting for something. Otherwise phone is in my pocket. It would make me look like I live off the thing to anybody passing by, but in reality it just passes the time.

So not sure what they can get from "91 undergraduate students" even more so as Cutter mentioned its not a wide enough focus group for anything.

Well you would hope it would be curated properly I imagine. They should have partnered with Nexus mods or something to make this a non-thing. But they went with there closed environment bethesda.net thing. Which means in the end you get people publishing other peoples mods as there own and no way to trace it back to the source creator. (at least, not with out a little investigation, but nobody does that, they just want the mod working)

A devils advocate thought would be Beth. is trying to knock out the Nexus all together and expand its own system. But if they are going to use the "Steam Greenlight" system of not giving a crap what stuff comes from where and just putting complete non-sense on its mod lists, then Beth. can sod right off.

Well that's the sticky part, they have to try to keep the game looking good, running well, and visually appealing to alot of computer configs. Even more so for WoW which is old as hell. As much as I personally would love a super GFX overhaul of the game to like Overwatch and Doom levels of amazing...

I have to remember that they have to balance things like a person running on a GTX 1080 with everything maxed still making the game looking good. To somebody who is using a wired-up Potato as a GFX card and needs a playable frame rate.

Latency from inside the Eurozone is not much of a problem. Latency to out side of zone is a problem. Japan and Aus are still crazy high, but to the U.S. is around 110-140ms to East coast/Mid-west BF4 servers for me. Latency to things in zone are well under 50. You kinda stop noticing after a while, as its not a problem.
